We arrived to find a cyclist who had been hit

As an EMT, I ran a call recently for an individual who was struck by a car. We arrived to find a cyclist who had been hit and thrown about 50 feet from his bike. He had a head injury and could not answer many of my questions. The Road ID on his wrist, however, allowed us to retrieve all the necessary information. I have been meaning to get a Road ID for a while now because I am a cyclist as well, and after that call, I made it a priority to order my own in case I am the patient someday. Thanks for offering such a useful tool that will hopefully never be used.

Earlier this year, my wife and I transferred to Buenos Aires, Argentina. bringing our Golden Retriever, Stella, with us. I elected to get her a new Scout ID with our updated cell numbers and her Microchip info. About a week later, she was hit by a cyclist while we were walking around the city at night. She got off the leash... and took off running out of fear. We searched all night, and spoke with numerous people who said they saw here running down the middle of a four lane road. At 8am the next morning, I received a call on my cell phone from someone who had located Stella, saying she appeared to be lost and injured. We got to her in less than an hour and took her straight to the vet.

She ended up having a collapsed lung - 1 liter of air was removed from her right lung and 150 mL of air from her left - due to the bike hitting her and from running for five or six miles out of fear. She was given good care and is expected to make it.

I want to personally thank Road ID for not only a great product, but fast service, and your dedication to the Law Enforcement and First Responder community. If Stella had not been wearing her Scout ID, we would still be looking for her and she would likely have passed away from her injuries. You saved the most important member of our family, and we are forever grateful. Continue Reading

My brother was returned home safely...

Earlier this year, my mom, dad, and brother were visiting me from out of town. My brother is 25 and has Down Syndrome. He is verbal but can be quite hard to understand at times. In the middle of the night, for some reason, he woke up and decided to step outside and take a walk. Around 2am, a Good Samaritan returning home from... work noticed him wandering and called 911. The local Sheriff arrived and approached my brother, who was completely overwhelmed and could not relay any information as to where he was staying or whom to contact.

Thanks to your wonderful product, the Sheriff was able use his Road ID to call all three numbers on it. The Sheriff was able to wake my parents and return my brother safe and sound. I never thought I would have a reason to send in a testimonial, but I’m certainly glad my whole family has them! Thanks for producing such a simple product that makes such a HUGE difference in lives every day!Continue Reading

My family was notified because of her Road ID

A few months ago, I was in a roll-over car accident with my 20 month old daughter in the back seat. I was 6 months pregnant at the time. The way the accident happened, I wound up with my head pinned under the truck and my neck was broken.

I had originally purchased a Road ID for when I went running, but after my daughter was born,... I purchased her a Road ID to wear on her ankle when we went to public places like the zoo, or on long trips. That morning, she was the one who remembered and brought it to me to put on her.

I am told I was conscious throughout the extraction, but I don't have any recollection. The first passer-by that stopped to help pulled my daughter from the truck. She was completely uninjured, but just to be safe, the paramedics took her to look over. They found her Road ID and were able to start making calls to my family. My tiny daughter was taken to a hospital two hours away
all by herself as I was flown to the nearest trauma hospital. My family was able to be notified of our location and condition right away because of her
Road ID.

We are so grateful. I'm online right now purchasing a Road ID for my 4 month old son, who was miraculously born perfect.

I recently had a head-on accident with another cyclist. It was dark, he had no lights, and he was riding against traffic. The collision broke the head tube off my bike and sent me over the bars.

I am doing OK, just waiting for my elbows and forearms to fully heal. Both arms took the brunt of the force, although I also hit my head... hard enough to get knocked out and have a slight concussion (even with a helmet). The EMTs were able to use my Road ID to call my wife. My Road ID also let them know that I had no other conditions to worry about.

While I always wear it, I am now telling everyone I know that rides or runs that they need to get a Road ID. I am also going to start using the Road ID app as soon as I get back on my bike.

At a recent race, as we were rushing to congratulate my husband at the finish line, I lost my 10 year old son in the crowd. I was in a full panic, having the finish line announcer call his name over the loudspeaker, when my cell phone rang. My son had located a mom in the crowd and showed her my cell number on his... Road ID so she could call me. I had just purchased the Road ID for him as a birthday gift because he was starting to race on his own. It was nice that I didn't have to rely on him remembering my number in a stressful situation. I have encouraged my friends to purchase Road IDs for all their children.

Thanks to the Wrist ID Slim for helping resolve a scary situation very quickly! Continue Reading
